That�s my feeling too, it�s so hard to figure out his true value from the first two weeks

In other decisions, can�t figure out my WRs this week in my other league, also 0 PPR

Evans vNYG
Cooks @CLE
M Brown @KC
MvLaurin vChi

By DSYS it should be Evans and Cooks, but Evans makes me nervous with how Winston has been despite going against the Giants (and is he still considered a stud at this point?). Cleveland allowed multiple passing TDs from Tenn last week which gives hope for Cooks. But drat, if Lamar Jackson and his #1 receiver vs KC is really tempting. And though Case is rough, McLaurin has had two consistent 10+ pt games.

My gut is leaning Brown and Cooks. Other thoughts would be very appreciated

I�d go Evans + either Hollywood or McLovin. Leaning Hollywood.

Pick 2

Edelman vs. vs Jets
Lockett vs. Saints
Hardman vs. Ravens
Ridley vs. Colts

Lockette, Ridley

Edelman is no longer low WR1/high WR2 with Antonio Brown on the field. Him and Gordon take hits to value. Mecole is hard to predict but has a crazy good ceiling where I�m looking more for consistency. That leaves two guys that I can�t bench.

1 PPR

Pick 3

Allen Robinson @ Wsh
Emmanuel Sanders @ Gb
Tyrell Williams @ Amin
Mike Williams vs Hou
John Ross III @ Buf
Demarcus Robinson be Bal

Leaning Tyrell, Sanders and Robinson, but I also don�t really trust Trubisky. Ross has been hot, and so has Demarcus.

Sanders, Tyrell, Ross. Ride the Ross window while it�s here.

Yeah I ended up dropping Gordon last night for Darwin in my 10 teamer, he was likely never gonna start for me with AB, Golladay, Tyrell, Robinson, Agholor and Green.

Need advice on if I should shop for a QB for this week.

I have Mayfield as my starter and he's not been great, plus he plays the Rams. Donald is going to eat him.

Little did I know during drafting that I was in a league where I was going to be the only one to not draft two QBs... so pickings are slim.

Available (listed based on average fantasy points in the two games so far):
Keenum vs Chi
Dalton @ Buf
Mariota @ Jax
Brissett @ Atl
Minshew vs Ten
Flacco @ GB
Carr @ Min

I'm thinking I either have to Ride or Die with Mayfield, or maybe I should grab Brissett? On paper OPRK favors Mariota @ Jax but that's only because Jax opened against KC and no one is going to look good vs QBs when they have played KC this early in the season.

If you all think I should grab a QB who would you drop of:
Tarik Cohen
Jamison Crowder (I'm deep at WR)
Malcolm Brown

I'm thinking Cohen is going to be pretty boom or bust this year, leaning towards bust. Brown might be a smart keep if Gurley's knees blow up?

I�d play Dalton. CIN showed they are willing to keep him fun-slinging in any game even when they are getting blown out. Ross to continue to benefit during this window.

If you are deep at WR, drop Crowder. I don�t anticipate Cohen to do much and consider him along the same vein as Dion, whom I dropped for a second D/ST (SF vs PIT).

Need to choose 1 RB one Flex 0.5PPR:

Gore v CIN
Fitzgerald v CAR

Mostert v PIT
Duke Johnson @ LAC
Woods @ CLE
Mclaurin v CHI

Woods is probably the best player in the group but he�s on the road against a tough defence. I feel like Fitz is going to see a lot of targets and I want that floor since my starters have been streaky.

Gore sucks but he probably sees way more work than Duke, right?

I've been considering the same thing in 1ppr. I'm still going with Woods for the safer floor. If Chark wasn't playing on Thursday, I might have gone with him.

0.5 PPR. My two flex players, DJax and Alshon, are dead this week and so I need to pick two:

David Montgomery @ WAS
Carlos Hyde @ LAC
Chris Thompson vs CHI
Malcolm Brown @ CLE
Terry McLaurin vs CHI

Tempted to start Terry over Carlos but the fact that it's Chicago is making me think twice.

Needing a Flex in ESPN Standard scoring:

Julien Edelman vs NYJ
Dede Westbrook vs. TEN
DJ Chark vs TEN
DK Metcalf vs NO
AP vs CHI
Malcolm Brown @CLE

Edelman has a great matchup, but I'm worried Tom's gonna throw the ball around too much. AP is my #2 choice but not against the Bears. So I gotta guess which WR Minshew's gonna hit the most tonight?

Terry McLaurin v CHI
Hollywood Brown @ KC
Will Fuller @ LAC
DJ Chark v TEN
Robby Anderson @ NE

And a FLEX from the remaining WRs and the following:

Devin Singletary v CIN
LeSean McCoy v BAL
OJ Howard v NYG

Right now I'm definitely starting Kupp and Hollywood Brown.

Yeah I guess it�s gonna be game-time on my RB slot, if Singletary is healthy then Gore could easily dud. I might be too wary of Mostert�s committee position but if Gore�s not my play then I�ll slot him over Duke.

John Brown. Sony could go off but as long as he's got White and Rex sucking up carries he's limited. Brown is the clear number 1 option for his team, and the game against Cincy is gonna be competitive.

OK got smart person questions and a really dumb question:

Dumb question:

Cam Newton is dead!!! He's my second starter in a dynasty league with a Superflex, standard scoring for QBs. Do I start his backup, Kyle Allen, against the hapless Cardinals, or do I start New Hotness Gardner Minshew II against the Titans (a much better defense)?

Smart questions:

Am I making the right call starting Matt Brieda (v Pit) over Stefon Diggs (v Oak)? (.5PPR)
What about Terry McLaurin (v Bears) over Julian Edelman (v Jets)? (1PPR)

With Green gone, Ross is the old Boyd and Boyd is the new Green. Old Boyd was good, and we're all hoping for new Boyd to look more like Old Green, before the injuries. I like Ross over Moore, even though he's facing a decent defense.

I'd roll the dice with Kyle Allen, for I believe Minshew will be made into minced meat.

And I can't answer Brieda vs Diggs objectively because I hate Brieda.

I'm starting McLaurin in all leagues this week.
